Volume 30, Number 1 issue (2015) marks the start of Code One Magazine’s thirtieth year of publication. Code One originated as a product support publication that covered the F-111 and F-16. Through the years, the scope of the magazine expanded beyond tactical aircraft to include air mobility, maritime patrol and reconnaissance, and cutting-edge air vehicles.

The company credited with designing, developing, and manufacturing the U-2 Dragon Lady, C-130 Hercules, C-5 Galaxy, and F-16 Fighting Falcon also maintains, repairs, overhauls, and tests the engines that power these military aircraft. Kelly Aviation Center also repairs engines for some commercial aircraft.

In September 2009, a joint US Air Force and Lockheed Martin flight crew set forty-one world aeronautical records on a single flight from Dover AFB, Delaware, on a C-5M Super Galaxy. And in November, an Air Force Reserve Command crew set a speed over a closed course record flying from Dover to Turkey.
